I'll measure it this weekend as I 've done a lot of messing around. It should be 6.75" front and 7" back. these measurements are from the front rear lower control arm bolt to the ground and from the front lower control forward bolt to the ground.

Damn that car looks good, and making it lower it will look even better


Do you have any pics of you modified factory bumpstops??

Default Look back at the pictures

I didn't modify the factory bumpstop ( it was cut shorter) I removed it and cut the mount off. I built custom ones inside the adjustable spring perches. There is a write up post now in the suspension section where I posted the parts needed to make the perch.

I know you aren't using the factory stops anymore. I was just curious how you cut them to get them flat like they are. I cut the bottom off of mine and have been trying to figure out how to get them flatter like yours are

I came from the top with a 4.5 " grinder with a cutoff wheel I cut down and in on an angle.

I like the bump stop location, you could also have run a koni bump stop over the shock shaft.

Its 100% totally possible to tuck 17x11" wheels under stock fender wells. I hate when I see people with 315's+ that stick out past fender well, looks redneck as hell.

Lowered almost 2.75" rear, stock bump stop, BFH some parts of the inner well, rolled lips, spent awhile adjusting my PHB also. Might be able to squeeze a 335 under too from what I can see.
